Adding Images & Videos to your Blog

While building this platform, we've tried our hardest to make everything as intuitive and easy as possible. This can be very difficult sometimes, because the features that seem the most simple are often most complex to make simple to use.

The Archinect blogs have a history of being rich with media, both images and video. They've become a critical component of telling a bloggers story.

UPLOADING AND RE-ORDERING IMAGES

Click the "+ Add Image(s)" button

Select one more more images from your computer

Add captions to the images, if desired

Re-order the images, if desired, by dragging them using the drag handle to the right of the caption fields

After publishing your post, the first image will appear large, at the top of your blog entry and the remaining images will appear as thumbnails at the bottom of your entry. When you click the thumbnails you will be taken to a gallery of the images for that blog entry

EMBEDDING IMAGES INTO YOUR ENTRY TEXT

After uploading your images, as described above, click the "Preview" button, then edit your entry

You'll notice that your images will be available adjacent to your entry text. Simply drag the images to the location you would like them to appear within the context of your article. It is best if you create a blank space in the text, where you would like to place your image, before dragging the image into that spot

Please note that the first image in your images, will automatically be positioned at the top of your entry, so it's not necessary to drag this image, unless you wish to show that image twice.

If you would like to embed an image from another website, just click the little image icon - - above the text field and enter the URL of the image

EMBEDDING VIDEOS INTO YOUR ENTRY

Videos must already be available on YouTube or Vimeo. If you want to include your own video into your entry, please upload your video to one of these video hosting websites first
